Achins Bookshop (Inverkirkaig)

Reputed to be Scotland's remotest bookshop and recommended by my friend Carolyn. Located in the parish of Assynt at InverKirkaig, sandwiched between Suilven and the sea, the shop has been there for more than 35 years. During that time Achins Bookshop have become established as a supplier to the Highland Libraries and as a bookseller with an in-depth knowledge and love of Scottish books. They are open between 10 am and 5pm 'in season' so you might want to phone to make sure that your 'in season' too! Telephone 01571 844262

This is a blog dedicated to the best independent book shops. Not those that are part of a large national chain, but those that are much more the one of a kind, kind; shops that offer readers enthusiastic and knowledgeable advice, ones that are run by people who are passionate about books, not product.

I'd love to hear from anyone with any bookshop recommendations. Just email me via my web site (link below) with your thoughts on 'Great Bookshops' you have discovered.
